ARMS OF PENNSYLVANIA. 



Sketch of the Society 

The Pennsylvania Society originated at a meeting held in the 
Waldorf-Astoria on March i6, 1899. The Ohio Society had courte- 
ously placed its rooms at the disposal of the gentlemen interested, 
who included Messrs. William B. Boulton, Joseph A. Goulden, H. L. 
Horton, Severo Mallet-Prevost. Barr Ferree, Rev. Dr. S. D. Mc- 
Connell, H. Harrison Suplee, Henry R. Towne, Robert C. Ogden, 
Horace See. Henry Galbraith Ward, and George W. Wickersham. 
At this meeting the plans for a State Society were fully discussed, 
and a Committee, composed of Messrs. Robert C. Ogden, Horace 
See and Barr Ferree, was appointed to draft a preliminary circular 
and undertake the active work of organization. 

So modest were the beginnings that the first circular issued by 
the Committee stated that a permanent organization would be effected 
when fifty names had been secured. The time appeared ripe for the 
launching of a successful Society. More than twice the desired fifty 
names were quickly secured ; plans for an organizing meeting and 
dinner were swiftly formulated, and April 25th — hardly more than 
six weeks after the preliminary meeting — was set as the date for 



8 THE PENNSYLVANIA SOCIETY 

perfecting a permanent organization. The circular announcing the 
arrangements for this meeting and dinner carried no less than one 
hundred and fourteen as the number of organizing members. Many 
new names were received daily, and the Menu of the Dinner in- 
cluded a list of one hundred and thirty-seven ; some later names 
brought the total to one hundred and forty-five as the final list of 
organizing members. 

On April 25, 1899, an organizing meeting was held at the Wal- 
dorf-Astoria, a Constitution was adopted, and officers were elected. 
These included President, Bishop Potter ; Vice-presidents, Henry R. 
Towne, Henry Galbraith Ward, Richard E. Cochran, and Horace 
See; Chaplain, Rev. Dr. S. D. McConnell ; Secretary, Barr Ferree ; 
Treasurer, Joseph A. Goulden ; and members of Council, Robert C. 
Ogden, William Bispham, H. L. Horton, Severo Mallet-Prevost, 
William B. Boulton, Andrew Carnegie, Allan C. Bakewell, R. Grier 
Monroe and H. Harrison Suplee. Mr. Horace See, chairman of the 
Organizing Committee, presided at the meeting and at the dinner, 
which was given the same evening in the small ballroom of the hotel. 
The speakers included the Hon. James M. Beck, of Philadelphia; 
Mr. F. James Gibson, representing the Canadian Society of New- 
York, who brought words of friendly greeting from sister societies, 
and Messrs. Severo Mallet-Prevost, Henry Robinson Towne, Fred- 
erick W. Holls, D.C.L., Henry Galbraith Ward, and the Rev. Dr. 
John F. Carson, all members of the newly-organized Society. The 
company dispersed at a late hour, and with much enthusiastic satis- 
faction in the new organization. 

The First Annual Dinner was held on October 31st of the same 
year, that being the nearest available date to the anniversary of the 
landing of Penn on the shores of the Delaware. The growth of the 
Society had been rapid, and the Dinner was given in the Astor Gal- 
lery of the Waldorf-Astoria. Mr. Henry Robinson Towne, First 
Vice-President, presided in the absence of Bisliop Potter, who was 
then engaged in making a tour around the world. The speakers in- 
cluded the Hon. C. W. Stone, M.C., the Hon. J. L. M. Curry, Mr. 
Tunis G. Bergen, President of the Holland Society, Hampton L. 
Carson, Esq., Frederick Perry Powers, Esq., the Rev. Dr. S. D. 
McConnell, and John Drew, Esq. The Menu was decorated with 
a drawing of Father Penn presenting an infant — the new Society — 
to Father Knickerbocker. 

For the second year Bishop Potter was re-elected President ; 



THE PENNSYLVANIA SOCIETY 9 

Robert C. Ogden, Frederick W. Holls, Alfred C. Barnes and 
Henry F. Shoemaker, Vice-Presidents; Rev. Dr. George M. Cliris- 
tian, Chaplain ; Barr Ferree, Secretary ; John A. Hiltner, Treasurer ; 
and William Bispham, John R. Dos Passos, and H. L. Horton, Mem- 
bers of Council. 

The Second Annual Dinner was held in the same hall, and like the 
first, created unbounded enthusiasm among the members and guests 
present. December 12, the anniversary of the ratification of the Na- 
tional Constitution by the Constitutional Convention of Pennsyl- 
vania, had now been chosen as the permanent date for the Dinner. 
Bishop Potter presided, and the speakers were the Hon. James M. 
Beck, of Philadelphia ; the Hon. James A. Beaver, former Governor 
of Pennsylvania and the Judge of the Superior Court; the Hon. 
Samuel W. Pennypacker, President of the Historical Society of 
Pennsylvania; Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the Rev. Cyrus Townsend 
Brady, of Philadelphia, and the Rev. Dr. John R. Paxton. Elab- 
orate souvenir-menus were di^stributed, and a special souvenir of the 
Liberty Bell, modeled for the Society by Mr. Charles Albert Lopez, 
the sculptor. 

The second annual election brought Bishop Potter a third time 
to the Presidential chair ; Robert C. Ogden, Andrew Carnegie, Severe 
Mallet-Prevost and Charlton T. Lewis, Vice-Presidents; Rev. Dr. 
George T. Purves, Chaplain ; Barr Ferree, Secretary ; John A. Hilt- 
ner, Treasurer; and David Bovaird, Jr., M.D., William Harrison 
Brown and Henry F. Shoemaker, Members of Council. Dr. 
Purves having died before the date set for the Sermon, he was suc- 
ceeded by the Rev. Dr. John F. Carson, of Brooklyn. 

The Third Annual Dinner, which was attended by nearly four 
hundred members and guests — for the Society had grown rapidly in 
the three years of its existence — was held in the Billiard Room of the 
Waldorf-Astoria, which had been entirely cleared and set apart for 
its use. Bishop Potter was unavoidably absent, and in his stead 
Mr. Robert C. Ogden, the First Vice-President, presided. The 
speakers were the Hon. W. U. Hensel, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 
former Attorney-General of the State; the Hon. William Travers 
Jerome, District- Attorney-elect of New York; Francis A. Lewis, 
Esq., of Philadelphia ; the Hon. Alton B. Parker, of Albany, Chief 
Judge of the Court of Appeals of New York, and Augustus Thomas, 
Esq., President of the Missouri Society. The souvenirs w^ere his- 
toric plates, designed and made expressly for the Society, having in 



10 THE PENNSYLVANIA SOCIETY 

the centre a copy of the Penn portrait presented to the Society by 
Mr. Andrew Carnegie, and surrounded with reproductions of his- 
toric buildings and places in Pennsylvania. 

The next annual election made Bishop Potter President for the 
fourth time; Andrew Carnegie, Allan C. Bakewell, J. Hampden 
Robb, and James Gayley, Vice-Presidents; Rev. Dr. L. W. Batten, 
Chaplain; Barr Ferree, Secretary; John A. Hiltner, Treasurer; and 
Henry P. Davison, Thomas E. Kirby, and John Markle, Members of 
Council. 

The Fourth Annual Dinner, of which a full record is presented 
elsew^here, was by far the most brilliant of the dinners of the Society. 
The festival was held in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria, 
and was participated in by a company of four hundred and seventy- 
five gentlemen, with many ladies in the upper boxes. The room was 
beautifully decorated with greens and flowers, and above the table of 
honor the word PENNSYLVANIA blazed in electric lights. 
The dinner opened with a procession of the President and invited 
guests, with the historic flags that formed so beautiful and so unique 
a feature of the dinner. Bishop Potter presided, and the speakers 
comprised the Right Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smith, Bishop Coad- 
jutor of Pennsylvania; the Hon. John Patton, former United States 
Senator from Michigan, a Pennsylvanian by birth; Mr. George F. 
Baer, and the Rev. Dr. John R. Paxton. The souvenirs were ster- 
ling silver coffee spoons, designed for the Society by Horace Moran, 
and miniature imitation coal-hods covered with anthracite coal, in 
which the ices were served. Before the speaking, Bishop Potter 
announced the presentation of the flags, which were brought before 
the table of honor and created much enthusiasm as their names and 
those of their donors were announced. A unanimous vote at the 
dinner authorized the incorporation of the Society. 

The Dinner of the Society is the chief festival of the year, but it 
by no means exhausts its activity. In 1900 the custom of an annual 
Sermon, to be preached by the Chaplain, was instituted. The Rev. 
Dr. George M. Christian, the Chaplain of the year, preached a ser- 
mon in his church of St. Mary the Virgin, in West Forty-sixth 
Street. In 1901, the Rev. Dr. John F. Carson, who was elected 
Chaplain in place of the Rev. Dr. George T. Purves, who died before 
he was able to fulfill his promise to preach, held the annual services 
in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, which was courteously 
placed at the use of the Society for this purpose. The sermon for 



THE PENNSYLVANIA SOCIETY ii 

1902 was preached by the Chaplain, the Rev. Dr. Loring W. Batten, 
in St. Mark's Church, of which he is rector. 

Annual meetings and social meetings, to the latter of which the 
ladies have been welcomed guests, complete the list, the aim of the 
Society being to carry out four public events each year, namely, the 
Sermon, the Annual Dinner, the Social Meeting, and the Annual 
Meeting. In addition to these meetings the Society has undertaken 
the accumulation of a Library of Pennsylvania books, and while the 
amount available for purchases has been small, an excellent begin- 
ning has been made, and a number of valuable gifts received from 
members and others. 

In 1901 the Society began the publication of a Year Book of Con- 
temporary History and Patriotism for Pennsylvania. The previous 
publications had been limited to accounts of the Dinner proceedings 
and a record of the membership. It was felt that something more 
than this might be done. This Year Book aims to summarize each 
year the record of historical and other matters relating to Penn- 
sylvania which appear to be worthy of permanent preservation, 
while making full record of the Society's work. 

Perhaps no undertaking of this organization has met with more 
signal success or won wider appreciation. Governor Beaver wrote 
of the first issue: 'Tt is a most interesting contribution to the his- 
tory of Pennsylvania. I sincerely hope you may be able to continue 
the originality and value of these yearly publications." The Rev. 
Dr. Robert Ellis Thompson, President of the Central High School 
of Philadelphia, wrote : "It is exceedingly interesting." Judge 
Pennypacker declared : "You are to be congratulated upon the ap- 
pearance as well as upon the value of the publication." Mr. E. A. 
Weaver, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Society of the Sons of the 
Revolution, wrote : "It is a book which fairly bristles with informa- 
tion relating to Pennsylvania ;" and many others expressed them- 
selves in a similar manner. The Year Book not only enables the 
Society to present itself as engaged in valuable work, but it is work 
no other organization is doing. Moreover, the Year Book is a valu- 
able medium of exchange with other societies, and is a ready means 
of adding to the Society's Library. 

A record of the Society's work would be incomplete that did not 
make mention of the fine oil copy of the portrait of William Penn. 
made from the original in the possession of the Historical Society of 
Pennsvlvania by Miss Carol H. Beck, and presented to the Society 



12 THE PENNSYLVANIA SOCIETY 

by Mr. Carnegie. It is hung behind the table of honor at the din- 
ners, and was first used in this way at the Third Annual Dinner. 
The collection of fac-similes of historic flags of national or Penn- 
sylvania significance, gifts of various members, is described else- 
where in this volume. 

With amembership of more than five hundred persons as a record 
of four years' work, the Society may well congratulate itself on being 
established on a firm foundation. Its activities are directed in cer- 
tain well-defined directions, each having a special usefulness of its 
own, and each bringing it greater fame and broadening its influence. 
Its avowed purpose to keep alive the good name of the State of 
Pennsylvania is a notable one, and it bespeaks the co-operation of the 
sons of Pennsylvania in furthering its ends.
